For both source and translation strings, is there a max string length?
Is the string length confiurable? If so, where?

thanks
Jonny

Hi,

Of course, you can to set up max length (as characters number or pixels number) of translated string for selected rows in menu Row > Max characters… or Max pixels…
Sisulizer is localization tool, so you can’t edit source file with Sisulizer, and for this reason you can’t also set up max string length for original. If you would like edit your source files you should to use developer’s tool, such as, Visual Studio or Delphi. Minimal value for max characters or pixels must be equal length of original string. If you will set up max characters or max pixels values for row, you will see in flag column (translation sheet) “cX” (X is max characters value) or “pX” (X is max pixels value) flags. You can to see it bellow on attached screen shot.

Best regards,

Janusz

And in case your question is regarding the maximal string lengths Sisulizer can handle. It is 2^32 chars. So there should be no real limitation :-)

Hello,

I just started to test Sisulizer 3 days ago, seems a very complete translation tool - except some bugs; Nobody's perfect, especially developers

!

I have one question regarding pixels size limitation : what is the reference font used to compute this length ? Is it possible to select another one ?

Regards,

Sébastien Auvray.

Hello Sebastien,

No, you can’t change it, because Sisulizer use Windows settings for it, so sizes of pixels depend on your monitor and resolution set up in your Windows screen properties.

Best regards,
Janusz

Well, does it mean that, when I'm translating a .Net Form (resx file), the Font property of a label is not the reference font for this labels's max pixels limit ?

Max pixel limitation is row related feature (you could to find this item in Row menu) so this limitation is concerned to translation sheet, and for this reason is depend only on sheet font and it doesn't depend on your source font, that is, if you have set up default translation sheet font as Arial 10 and Max pixel value as 32 you could in translation cell type e.g. 4 example X characters (XXXX), if you will change sheet font size to 16 you could type to translation cell only 2 X characters (XX).
BTW:
You could change translation sheet font here: Tools Menu > Sheet... > Font tab

Best regards,
Janusz
